Where grace abounds

5-20-2016 Daily Christianity

Jesus “said to them all, ‘If anyone desires to come after Me, let him deny himself, and take up his cross daily, and follow Me’” (Luke 9:23 NKJV). Jesus taught disciples to pray, “Give us day by day our daily bread.’” (Luke 11:3 NKJV). In His final week before crucifixion, Jesus “was teaching daily in the temple” (Luke 19:47 NKJV). To every creature, Jesus said, “He who believes and is baptized will be saved; but he who does not believe will be condemned” (Mark 16:16 NKJV). Scripture promised, “the Lord added to the church daily those who were being saved” (Acts 2:47 NKJV). Christians followed Jesus because “daily in the temple, and in every house, they did not cease teaching and preaching Jesus as the Christ” (Acts 5:42 NKJV). Obeying Christ gives someone “daily” work–not “gangs,” “drugs,” or “violence!”
